  1 0 Tango Tapas. My parents have lived in various parts of the country, all with great restaurants, but they were blown away by some of the small plates there, and by that spiced chocolate desert.

  0 1 Maximillien in the market is great for traditional French and awesome views. They do a great brunch too, which can be incorporated into a whole trip-to-the-market thing. www.maximilienrestaurant.com For dinners, though, I would smash all of these other suggestions together, and take a trip to a neighborhood and really do it up. For instance, on the Hill, you could do cocktails at Tavern Law, walk over to Quinn or Tidbit or la Spiga for dinner, then one of the many ice cream or cupcake places for dessert. For Las Vegans, walking outside in a real neighborhood could be a great change.

  0 0 I recently made it to Salumi for the first time, which is a huge upside to jury duty, as long as you're not stuck going to Kent. Pioneer Square has some of the most concentrated poverty in the city, but the mole+mozzarella sandwich is incredible. Now I've got half a pound of guanciale daring me to make carbonara for dinner for the rest of the week.

  1 1 Tilth, they're in wallingford. You could follow that up by going to Molly Moon's. Or maybe Tidbit Bistro, in cap hill. I'm also going to recommend Sutra, they do supper-club style seatings where meals start at a given time and everyone gets the same 4-course meal made with local ingredients and herbs from their garden behind the restaurant. ~$35. But, it sounds like y'all can't handle missing meat/dairy for a meal, so maybe that's out. Do they have food carts in Las Vegas? There's always that option. Or, take them to one of the larger farmer's markets and grab stuff from the prepared food vendors, like the delicious wood fired pizza truck. emily answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Cedarthvader… 0 0 Tilth used to be my favorite restaurant but they've really dropped the ball lately.

  0 0 Spinasse all the way. It's Northern Italian-ish with the most amazing handmade pasta. The restaurant itself is intimate, but not weird and definitely has a Pacific NW charm. Plus, the chef was voted one of the best by Food & Wine for 2010. http://www.spinasse.com/ You'll totally impress your guests and eat well!

  0 1 I would take them to Quinn's. Maybe Umi for sushi. Sazerac for happy hour has pretty good food and it's cheap. You can get a number of things and share amongst each other (4th & Spring). Adam Mohr answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by That guy… 0 0 I was totally thinking Quinn's and I think having a random individual on the internet suggest the same is pretty much a sign from god. No word on which god. Plus that'll put us on the hill for boozing the rest of the night.

  0 2 Your tourist destination limitation kind of cuts off most suggestions at the knees, since places with views of our spectacular, lush scenery seem to offer the most in terms of something people wouldn't get in Las Vegas. My kneejerk reaction was to suggest the Salish Lodge, for example - it's directly next to Snoqualmie Falls, the food is usually pretty great and the Lodge has a bit of 80s era, Twin Peaks celebrity...

  1 1 It's hard to be unique about restaurants these days. If I were looking to give friends from Vegas an experience they couldn't get in their town I'd take them someplace small and interesting where they could see an actual city from the table instead of the inside of a casino. There's very little that's old in Vegas, so I'd probably look for a good restaurant in an old building. Some of the smaller places in downtown/Belltown (Virginia Inn, Spur, Txori, Tulio) or on Capitol Hill (611, Joe Bar) would be fun even though they are not crazy expensive. If you want to spend more money, then you could go to someplace with a view of the water (I would choose Palisades over either Ray's or Salty's), but that's kind of dull. If I wanted to start with a view, I'd go to the Edgewater for Happy Hour and a table by the window, then go somewhere else for dinner.

  1 0 I would suggest one of Tom Douglas's restaurants, specifically: Palace Kitchen Lola Serious Pie They all feature local ingredients and thoughtful preparations. Other interesting, local options would be: Sitka & Spruce, which is the recently remodeled Melrose Market, a cool local food space. Anchovies & Olives, great for seafood. Poppy, pretty unique to Seattle and always interesting. Dan Williams answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by Luckier… 0 0 Lola is the go-to for brunch with out of town guests. Make sure to order the fresh donuts!

  1 3 Since you wisely want to avoid tourist spots, anyplace Northwest-y is out. But a restaurant that is unique? I've never heard of any unique restaurants in Seattle. Go to La Carta de Oaxaca, if you can stand to wait a bit for a table. Go to Tavolàta if you want to spend a bit more. Maybe being from Las Vegas they'll appreciate the lack of glam. In what way are you trying to impress them, anyway? elenchos answered in Food & Drink about 1 year ago | Report 1 comment by That guy… 0 0 I guess I want them to have something they probably can't experience in Vegas. And for that reason I was thinking about taking them to the international district as Vegas pretty much has the upscale version of every style of food imaginable and I don't know if they've ever been to a place that has ducks hanging in a window. I do like the La Carta suggestion though - thanks a bunch!
